mikielikesigns2, 3 years agomikie likie ! ornate, when u put that kind of time & pride in the "hardware" of an item, imagine the quality of the item itself! U wount find this in merchandise marked "made in China"

mrmajestic1, 3 years agoThank you mikielike and I agree. I have found, on this site, some of the most ornate things for everyday items. Pride in workmanship.

fhrjr2, 3 years agoNice old keys. Somewhere in my mass of mess I have a cigar box with old keys like these. When I was a kid skeleton keys were common so I collected them. Along the way I ended up with all different kinds of keys. I stopped collecting them about 40 years ago but kept what I had already had.

mrmajestic1, 3 years agoThanks fhrjr2. I'm much like you in that I have a box full of skeleton keys plus an ammo box full of found keys and keys no longer needed. If nothing more they can be sold for scrap.
